HYBE’s new girl group, TUIDE, sent a special first greeting to music fans ahead of its debut.
TUIDE (Seohee, Seoyeon, Elena, Jia, Saki, Seah, Yihani) uploaded content titled “Meet my GRLS, TUIDE” on HYBE LABELS’ official YouTube channel on the 7th. This video allows viewers to discover both the audio and performance of “Grls”, a track included in their 1st mini-album “TUNE & PLAY”, which will be released on the upcoming 24th at 6 p.m.
In this video, TUIDE freely alternates between solos, units, and group choreography, swapping parts as if introducing one another as best friends. The song, which begins by highlighting JIA and SAKI with their bold gazes, continues with SEAH’s solo section dancing house, then ELENA with her elegant dance line joins SEOYEON with her bubbly expression. As they fade out, YIHANI then appears featuring vocals full of originality. SAKI draws attention with rhythmic movements to the lyrics “Following the rhythm”, and SEOHEE brightens the atmosphere of the track with a clear tone.
In the group performance with impressive groovy movements, the identity of TUIDE, which harmoniously brings together everyone’s individualities, clearly stands out. Freestyle gestures integrated here and there maximize their charm, while the energetic chemistry flowing through the entire group unites the seven members into a single whole. The structure of the choreography, flexibly combining various genres such as house, hip-hop, and soul, is also unique.
Their style also draws attention. According to its agency ABD, TUIDE wore customized outfits from the New York-based brand BODE. This vintage-vibe style, which expresses the brand’s unique artisanal sensibility through delicate embroidery and quilted details, brings out TUIDE’s unpretentious confidence and each member’s personality even more.
“Grls” is a song akin to a first greeting addressed to the world by members of different colors who have become a single team. Through the bold message of moving forward in their own way (bestie-tude), it conveys the free and lively energy unique to TUIDE.
Their 1st mini-album “TUNE & PLAY” is an album that tunes (TUNE) different musical languages into a single rhythm and will maximize the pleasure (PLAY) discovered within it. After making a strong impression with “Meet my GRLS”, attention turns to the music and performance they will present with the title track “Sun kiss”.
